Backstory

The six words the late Alex Haley lived his life by. They were mentioned during a speech at the inauguration, and my mind immediately went to Smith.

Bevvie says,

I just heard that too! ;-)

Staraj says,

You beat me to it! But I'm glad. Props to Lamar Alexander for giving us a great six to emulate.

Bevvie says,

Alex Haley gave us these six words!

Staraj says,

You're correct, Bevvie. However, I would never have heard this six were it not for Alexander. He wasn't a politician today, but a citizen doing his part to add inspiration to the event. He succeeded.

There is always good in everything. Even something really bad. It's there, and we will see it in time.

SingerSomewhere says,

I agree, maryjane31. I was just wondering if I was only sixer whose ears perked up when they heard this.
